I am very interested in having some live music at either our Rehearsal Dinner or Reception. If anyone has any suggestions, please post! Would love someone to play some Gypsy Kings and other flamenco-flavored music. Thanks!

you can hire the mariachis to play from the end of your ceremony (recessional) up to one hour if you want...I see that a lot...If i am doing a solo guitarist gig, I will play 15-20mins pre-wedding, then I do the processional and some light background music during the ceremony , AND THEN the Mariachis finish the ceremony and continue playing for the cocktail hour ...And CHECK to see whether the trio is in fact a mariachi trio ...there are only a couple of mariachi trios that i know of ...the music is much different than a regular trio...

We have David Flores booked for our wedding in three weeks. Since we're a small group using him for ceremony and cocktail hour I thought it would be cool to get our first dance in using his music vs. an ipod- haivng our first dance to kick off the cocktail hour. I have been begging for his music list but the only thing I got back from my wedding planner is 2 ceremony songs- not first dance material.

For those that have used him, did he play any recognizable songs? Or any you think could possibly work for a first dance?

All others, any ideas on songs that would work well for a spanish guitarist to see if he can play...I'm guessing it's too late for him to learn but I figure I might as well try, give him a big list and see if he knows them.
